I was looking for the video "Children of the Stars" for my chemistry class and when ordering could not find the names of the videos included in these Cd's so I took chance. Well no luck for me. Here are the videos included on the Wonders of the Universe CD's: Destiny, Stardust, Falling Messengers. I hope theyre good, haven't watched them yet.

Saw some of these episodes on TV. Loved them. Wished they would have taught science like this, back when I was in school - would have created some great options for considering going to college. I bought 2 copies, one for myself and one for a Christmas gift for my brother and his family, including 2 teenage boys.Some might find the dialog slow-paced, but I appreciated the time to consider how it (the information) all fits together - I feel it is very well done.

I saw the series on Science Channel on our cable system, and I just HAD to have my own DVD copy. Professor Brian Cox provides a narrative that as much as the sweeping videography just pulls one into the "adventure" presented by each episode. It so clearly and yet dramatically and accurately presents some physical descriptions of "our" Universe which can be very difficult to envision. Younger viewers can grasp the ideas much more readily with the scripting Prof. Cox presents, as compared to some other attempts I've seen in my adult years (I'm 65).

Wow! What an informative, interesting program especially if your interested in cosmology, the nature of the universe and life on earth. But what tease too! Just four episodes on this, hopefully, first volume (season 1?). Leaves you wanting to see more. Very complex concepts explained in ordinary English, easily understood (because it is so well explained),

The DVD add did not tell what episodes were included. Since the screen was high-lighting "Children of the Stars", and that is what I wanted, I ordered the DVD. When I received it it had "Destiny Stardust" and "Falling Messengers" neither of which are of any value for the chemistry classes. I have found Discovery science DVD's to be of high quality. However, the Discovery Channel needs to clarify this add.
